Abstract
The community of astrophysicists see the universe in two different ways. Most of them believe that the evidence points to a hot big bang universe. The minority, largely represented at this meeting, believe that if proper weight is given to all of the observational evidence, rather than only a part of it, a very different model of the universe is indicated. Here I summarize that part of the evidence ignored by the majority, which shows (a) that not all redshifts are due to expansion, and (b) that galaxies and other coherent objects probably did not form from the condensation of diffuse gas.
